Welcome to the Stable State wikipages!
The Stable State is an evolving ruleset for people aiming at living together peacefully, respectfully and true. It is a very pure form of democracy. It is our hope that some day real communities and states will be organised according to this ruleset and, thus, become real Stable States. The entire world could be organised as 1 Stable State, so it is even a project to politically achieve what commercially, communication- and travel-wise is already a reality - we are one world.
The stable state is based on 3 ideals and laws:
which we think all people of all religions (or non-religions) and races can and must commit themselves to. Within these laws, we believe in the freedom of everybody to achieve a happy and prosperous life. Also, these laws never change, they cannot be changed. A Stable State's constitution, hence, is very simple "The state of XY is the people in its confines. It persues truth, respect and peace among the people, the nature and visitors. XY is true, respectful and peaceful towards its neigbour states and all states of this world. It assures to never attack or occupy land outside its confines and is open to peacefully and democratically merge with other Stable States."
All the organisational and processual details to achieve these ideals are defined with so called rules.

2022-01-09: Violence against unarmed protesters in Kasachstan
Introduction: What happens in Kasachstan also happens in many other dictatorship-like 'pseudo-democracies' or 'people's republics' (Belarus, Syria, Myanmar, North-Corea, China, ...). In the stable state and also real democracies, this cannot happen and it is a 'symptom' of a state organisation that is led by a mafia (= a minority of armed people harrassing and exploiting the unarmed majority) instead of the people themselves.
This is one of the reasons, in the stable state, each grown-up (normal and healthy) citizen, male and female, serves in the army and knows how to handle modern weapons for self-defence and also has such a weapon with ammunition at home. This prevents the oppression of the people by few armed and violence-using villains. Also, in the stable state each citizen must participate each month in the community gatherings. There, all state affairs and processes of the past month are transparently revealed, can be openly, non-violently and thoroughly challenged and discussed. If groups of people want to change rules, there is a peaceful, democratic and transparent process to do so. Also, juristiction is transparent and, if challenged, democratic. This fosters a culture of peaceful and reason-driven discussions and decisions.
Also, the state's representatives are always (married) couples and have no aquired or inherited 'right' to be in this position. At any time, if a representative couple does not act according to the rules, it will be warned (1x) and then be decommissioned. This is also one of the rationales behind the standard replacement couples regulation (SC.08, SC.08.03). At any time, if a representative gets out of service it is immediatly clear who follows. The state's functioning is never dependend on single persons - there is explicitly no 'persons cult'; no statues nor posters or pictures of state's representatives in charge are allowed.
Questions and answers:
Q: How to get out of a dictatorship like Kasachstan and transform this land and its people into a democracy like the stable state?
A: This is very difficult. History suggests that breaking free from a feudal or dictator or mafia government (all considered equal here; all also claiming they want the best, stability and prosperity for the 'cows they are milking') involves violence. But the stable state proposes a purely peaceful way. Except if you are attacked or arrested by the mafia (= dictator police or whatever) without you having broken the laws of truth, respect and peace, then you must violently defend yourself!
The peaceful way proposed is that
- each state is assessed with respect to its democracy-level
- and is not allowed to carry the label 'democracy' nor 'republic' if not fulfilling the minimum levels for those
Still, we think it is important to support travelling, cultural exchange and trade/commerce with the people of those states. However, no fees to such states shall be paid - just people to people, business to business direct interactions and transactions. If the dictator state does not allow this, then a stable state does not interact with the people of this state.

Rules
With all people fully understanding the 3 laws and adhering to them in their thoughts and deeds, no further rules would be necessary to achieve stable and prosperous communities (as prosperous as nature's forces allow). But the reality shows that, first, not all people equally understand and, second, adhere to these laws. Hence, some rules are in need according to which states, i.e. people living together, are organised.
Rules encompass (a) the meta-rules, (b) definitions (contained in our glossary), (c) parameters and (d) regulations grouped in the 7 domains of:
- Constitution
- Persons Administration
- Science, Culture and Sports (Education)
- Inner Security (Police)
- Justice
- Exterior Security (Army)
- Finances
In contrast to the 3 ideals and laws, the rules are subject to change and optimization towards achieving the ideals. Rules are defined, modified and removed by democratic processes that must involve all citizens. There are no elections in which the legislative power can be delegated. Also, each rule must fulfill the meta-rules.
State Design Principles
The state is defined as people geographically living together. While each person has the right to travel and move, still, at a given point in time, each has its home at a defined geographical location (somewhere). This means that we are geographcally forced to live and deal with other people; the closest, i.e. in the same home, hopefully carefully self-chosen and most others, our neighbours, are more or less not self-chosen. Within these people, we distinguish between (1) the permanent residents that are grown-up, i.e. the citizens, (2) the visitors and (3) many more persons-categories before, in-between and around (1) and (2).
A state is the set of persons living geographically together and the definition of this geographic space (i.e. the so called 'confines') and the mandatory interactions (events and actions) to get organised towards the ideals and laws of truth, respect and peace.
Freedom and self-responsibility: We believe that state interactions should be minimised and the freedom and self-responsibility of each person should be maximised.
Assured equal rights and minimal standard of living: While freedom and self-responsibility of each person should be maximised, it is of utmost importance that equal rights and a community-defined minimal standard of living for all persons must be assured. The minimal standard of living must take the available natural ressources as well as human-made and maintained systems into account.
Visitors are not citizens: Visitors (short-time immigrants) are very welcome with fair but reduced rights compared to the ones of the citizens.
Permanent immigrants have the right to become citizens: If visitors become permanent immigrants, they shall be given the opportunity and under some conditions be forced to become full citizens; the definition of 'permanent' again in the realm of the community.
The Agile State
Stable State basic decisions (elections and votes) are agile i.e. not delayable and taken at a given pace, the so-called state-cycles. Also, they are taken involving each community member equally. Hence, the Stable State is also known as Agile State and Agile Democracy. Also, the state's "event handling", i.e. the state's officials and/or automated devices acting according to the laws and rules is always timed. There must be NO options to "play games" with delaying actions or decisions.
